Technically, You are right actually.
A few minutes and you are ready for your service.
Economically...are you sure that using a sim card in a GSM modem is
cheaper than a sms aggregator? In Italy with a thousand sms a week I
think it won't.
you can use kannel actually, together with an sms aggregator unless it
use non standard protocols to connect with.

We need to send and receive SMS messages (no WAP pushes) to the US market

Most of time, we'll do a few hundred.
We need delivery to be fast but not immediate. Our customers are
willing to
wait a few minutes for receipt, but not more than about 10 minutes. We
expect to send messages to about 500 handsets at a time.
We don't need any PSMS features.
Kannel seems really interesting, and much more economical than going
through
mBlox or some other aggregator.
Do I just need to go out and buy a GSM modem, then rip a sim card out of a
phone that I got through a carrier and I'm ready to go?
A really basic walkthrough would be very appreciated.
